Internet Information Server: ISAPI, HTX/IDC,
OLEISAPI and More
Microsoft Internet Information Server is a powerful Web
server environment running on Windows NT. The IIS
provides support for complex Web sites that can be
programmed using a number of powerful Web server
extensions: ISAPI (custom DLLs), HTX/IDC (SQL queries
embedded inside web pages), and OLEISAPI (using OLE
Automation from ISAPI to drive supporting applications).
In this session Chris will provide a thorough overview of
developing a full-featured Web site using these IIS
extensions.

Integrating VB with IIS
Internet Information Server provides several facilities
for extending functionality. The most interesting to
Visual Basic programmers is OLEISAPI. OLEISAPI allows the
visual basic programmer to create classes in Visual Basic
and then call these classes from the browser. Using this
technique it is possible to tie into existing systems
including three-tier architectures.

Accessing WinSock and WININET from
Visual Basic
Have you ever wondered what it takes to write a Web
browser or FTP client? This session will look at two ways
of accessing the Internet from Visual Basic - WinInet and
WinSock. WinSock is a low level interface for
implementing your own FTP protocols. We will look at how
to send an email message, read Usenet news, and make a
request to a Web server. WinInet is a high level
interface that encapsulates the details for accessing
FTP, HTTP, and Gopher sites. The two techniques will be
compared for efficiency and ease of use.

Application Set-up, Delivery,
Downloading & Security
In this technical session, you'll learn about the various
ways components are downloaded as part of an Internet
solution. ActiveX controls and Active documents must be
downloaded to the client machine along with various
support DLLs and registered before they can be run. This
session will look at various methods of accomplishing
this task.
